Extrinsic hemolytic anemia is also known as autoimmune hemolytic anemia. This type of anemia develops when the spleen traps and destroys healthy red blood cells. Intrinsic hemolytic anemia develops when the red blood cells produced by your body are defective.

Today, the windmill's modern equivalent-a wind turbine-can use the wind's energy to generate electricity. Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.
What are Wind Turbines and How do They Work? Wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source. Every day around the world, wind turbines are capturing the windâs power and converting it to electricity. With over 25,000 wind turbines installed globally, GE is one of the world's leading turbine suppliers. Wind turbines allow us to harness the power of the wind and turn it into energy. When the wind blows, the turbine's blades spin clockwise, capturing energy. This triggers the main shaft, connected to a gearbox within the nacelle, to spin. The gearbox sends that energy to the generator, converting it to electricity.
